Spritz
Spritz is a mobile app that displays a book (or web content) one word at a time. As you read each word, your eyes focus on the key red letter in that word, prompting your brain to quickly recognize and process its meaning. The developers say that average reader typically reads around 200 words per minute with 60% understanding, but with Spritz, people quickly reach speeds of 300 wpm or more, achieving 90% understanding. Besides, Spritz reduces eye movement while reading and reduces the number of eye-word intersections required for understanding. In addition to the mobile app, browser extension is available for reading on the desktop.
